Well I am going for an outdoor swim and Glen will be guarding the real fire in the New Bath Hotel while he waits for me. You knew we wouldn't be doing anything normal though didn't you?

@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative  we know who has the common sense in the family 🤔 

got off the train in Stratford and straight into the coffee shop, Becky the weather girl said dry with a light breeze ! There’s 3 inches of snow and it’s freezing!

Well numpty here didn't think to check the forum before setting off (in the tin top) to Quackers only to find I was the only car in the car park.

I thought maybe someone could have parked round the back of the cafe so I walked up but nobody was around. So having called Julie and got the 'gen' I kept up the cake tradition and had a slice of cherry bakewell then took some photos before I drove home. All very festive.

I have to say the weather wasn't that bad and the roads are clear (if filthy from the salt spreading), but it is hovering round 0C so now I am back home in front of the wood burner.

Well arrived at Stratford to discover the xmas markets are closed because of snow ! So a walk down the river before the pub opens 😜 and found the railway carriage cafe overlooking the race course 

[Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative]

Had a good, long, lonely swim, that's the easy bit, it's stripping off outside to get changed that's the hard bit, the tents on the right hand side are the changing rooms. I got to try out my new batteries in the heated gloves and they are good, so we will try again next Sunday on the Santa Run, finger's crossed and keep an eye on the post.

I did that once, but in the Westfield.... didn't realise it had been rearranged 😂

Apologies for the tangent, but would any of you hardy lot care to recommend me some heated gloves? Be mainly for cycling but also for the Westy. Ta.
